For Thurs, Dec 5

For next Thurs (a week from tomorrow), you should aim to finish Unit 2 on Producing Data and get started on Unit 3: Probability. Here's the plan for what to do:

Screens 80-99

80-84: Unit 2, Mod 4: Designing Studies

Modifications to randomization

Sample surveys

Wrap-up and Lab exercise: Treating depression--A randomized clinical trial

Summary

85-93: Unit 3, Mod 5: Introduction to probabillity

Introduction to probability

Relative frequency

94-99: Unit 3, Mod 5: Finding Probability of Events

Sample spaces and events

Equally likely outcomes

In class on Thursday, we will 

• talk about stats in the big outside world
• discuss ideas related to survey sampling
• work in pairs to design a survey of the shoppers at the Princeton Shopping Center

For Thursday, Nov 14

Sorry for the late notice, but of course you know to move ahead with your study. The next chuck to get done is:

Screens 69-79

69-70: Unit 2, Mod 4: Designing Studies

71: Introduction

72-73: Identifying Study Design

74-75: Causation and Observational Studies (by Nov 5)

76-78: Causation and Experiments - Create and Verify Random Samples

79: Experiments with More than One Explanatory Variable

In class on Thursday 

• We will talk about stats in the big outside world. 
• We will continue our discussion of regression and causation concepts in exploratory data analysis and then move on to discussing sampling.

63-64: Unit 2, Producing Data: Introduction
66-68: Mod 2: Sampling

Sampling - Investigate Random Samples

Wrap-Up (Sampling)

In class on Thursday 

• We will talk about stats in the big outside world.
